Pokémon GO

By Niantic, Inc.

Pokémon GO App

Join Trainers across the globe who are discovering Pokémon as they explore the world around them. The newest update to Pokémon GO, the global gaming sensation that has been downloaded over 750 million times and named “Best Mobile Game” by The Game Developers Choice Awards and “Best App of the Year” by TechCrunch, introduced a dynamic weather system that recognizes real-world weather, impacting the gameplay experience in a variety of ways, from changing the Pokémon encountered to increasing their effectiveness in combat.
Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu, and many other Pokémon have been discovered!
Pokémon are out there, and you need to find them. As you walk around a neighborhood, your smartphone will vibrate when there’s a Pokémon nearby. Take aim and throw a Poké Ball… You’ll have to stay alert, or it might get away!
Search far and wide for Pokémon and items
Certain Pokémon appear near their native environment—look for Water-type Pokémon by lakes and oceans. Visit PokéStops and Gyms—found at interesting places like museums, art installations, historical markers, and monuments—to stock up on Poké Balls and helpful items.
Catching, hatching, evolving, and more
As you level up, you’ll be able to catch more-powerful Pokémon to complete your Pokédex. You can add to your collection by hatching Pokémon Eggs based on the distances you walk. Help your Pokémon evolve by catching many of the same kind. Choose a Buddy Pokémon to walk with and earn Candy that will help you make your Pokémon stronger.
Compete in epic Gym battles
You’ll join one of three teams and battle for the ownership of Gyms with your Pokémon at your side. As your Charmander evolves to Charmeleon and then Charizard, you can battle together to defeat a Gym and assign your Pokémon to defend it against all comers.
Team up to defeat powerful Raid Bosses
A Raid Battle is a cooperative gameplay experience that encourages you to work with up to 20 other Trainers to defeat an extremely powerful Pokémon known as the Raid Boss. If you succeed in defeating it in battle, you’ll have the chance to catch an extra powerful Pokémon of your own!
It’s time to get moving—your real-life adventures await!

Need Trading 3/5

By Neko9999999

I like how the gym battles added more interaction but we really need trading. Trading allows people to work as teams. Our neighborhood has a huge group to raid. Some of our group travels for work, but for others travel is not possible. Trading would help more bonding.

Ehhh good enough for me and my 7 cats. 4/5

By B5FaNForever

It’s a fun ish game

Just a though 4/5

By KelliG95

I love this game!! It would be super cool if you could battle one on one with any players nearby. Not necessarily at the gyms just out.

Updates are annoying 1/5

By cuebert1981

So many updates it is difficult to keep up with

Too difficult to start over 1/5

By 50hunter13

Ok so I had my google account linked to Pokémon go a while back and I just re-downloaded it and I asked me to log in and I did but there where no pokeballs in the account and I could get anymore unless I bought them and I wasn’t gonna spend money so I trues to restart from the beginning , couldn’t figure it out and so I logged out and tried to make a account with Pokémon and every password I put was rejected or told me there was an error connecting to some sever I guess there where a lot of letter but in my opinion it’s too difficult to play a stupid game so I deleted it just wanted to let y’all know for other users!! Very disappointed and dissatisfied.

Slow 4/5

By M A N I Ac

It takes a lot of battery power and they need to add more gens

I GOT THE POKÉMON OF MY DREAMS 5/5

By Hate yellow

Today I got a umberon!!!

This game is dogsh!t 1/5

By Nug0311

Remove speed caps a$$holes

Most days 2/5

By Jeremy Risner

This app on most days is more frustrating to deal with than fun. If you’re actually looking for a game to play try something else. This is a game of collecting pokémon. The gym system is sad compared to what it use to be. And the amount of times this app has froze up is probably a few thousand times. I’m only playing till i hit level 40 and i’m done with it. Time to find something better to do with my time.

Login certificate not renewed. 1/5

By Uncle Korm

No longer works with iOS. PTC logins have been buggy in the past on iOS, now not working. Only works for Google/Android players.

Freezes when feeding berries 1/5

By BSFel

They’ve made decent improvements to their game. But it’s still a buggy mess. You cannot feed more than a few berries to your Pokémon defending gyms until the game freezes. And their EX raid system is terrible.

Buena app, pero... 2/5

Screen freeze is getting old. 2/5

Every time I go to feed berries to the Pokémon at a gym the screen freezes. It is so frustrating!! Please fix this!! Fast!

No coins for holding gym 1/5

By Kevin939516

No coin rewards frequently after holding a gym.

Use to be so much fun 3/5

By Evilxxx1980

This game was awesome until the same few players (with multiple accounts) somehow got 15+ Blissey and Chanseys, stack them both in all the gyms, and feed them an endless supply of Golden Razz Berries as you try to battle them and throughout the day. Definitely sucked the fun right out of this game ☹️😡

Come on!!🙄 3/5

By Venus🐶🐶🐶Braidi

Ok, let me be honest, I love this game, heck I would run miles to catch a Pokémon, it made a healthy change to my life. BUT, we have a problem. I’m 13:
• I can’t go far from home bc my parents get worried and call like crazy.
• I can’t drive to different locations.
•And I most certainly can’t spend money on games!
Ok, I love traveling to places! It’s fun to go to different countries and see what Pokémon they have but... there’s a problem.
Every raid battle or gym battle, I fight with all I got and it’s fun, until all my Pokémon go down! No matter where I go to I can almost never find revives or potions! Heck, all my 3100-2700 and under Pokémon are fainted!!! I can’t find revives, I mean I know you guys want to profit out of this game but if you don’t put more revives and potions to be more common then more people will leave the game!
Please fix my concern and I won’t be forced to quit.😡

Super 5/5

By mihale4

Super game, one of the best games on the phone

. 2/5

By Maxwellcrafter

Human sacrifice feature won’t work?

Amazing!!! Much less glitchy now. 5/5

By Cbsmoore

I've always loved Pokémon ever since I was little. This game is more fun than I could have imagined and one of my favorite games now. Looking for a good Pokémon game that keeps you active and entertained while you’re out? This app is perfect for you! Only complaints are the app has quite a bit of server problems since launch but understandable. Also it makes you sign in again to your account very often which can be annoying. Other than that, it’s an amazing creative game that everyone should play!
Edit: The game is MUCH better now, this review was a year ago. It’s come such a long way since! :) A lot less glitchy.

Would play more if I could... 3/5

By Catthecute

The game works great on my phone and the game itself is wonderful but the only pokestop near me is two miles away, as a child with a disabled mother and a working father I don’t have many opportunities to go there and even when I do it mostly consists of me loitering around a church, trying to collect as much as I can before they tell me to go away(which has happened more times than I can count). The only other pokestop nearby me is literally on the highway and it’s a watertower in a restricted area. If you want anyone in Xenia to consider playing this game I insist that you add more pokestop, why not the Board of Education? Or maybe the Speedzone nearby there, at least they wouldn’t tell me to get lost. Please consider what I have brought up and search the area around Xenia for more spots.

Pokemon go 5/5

By THIGH HJI

I play Pokémon to everyday I play Pokémon go when I wake up I'm grabbing my phone, I wanna catch em all I wanna play pokemo-on all day long all day long

Transfer 4/5

By Gvsthh

Please allow us to transfer accounts to another email address

Try again later!! 😡 1/5

By Pandoraisgettingonmynerves

Every. Single. Poke. Stop. Try again later!!! This is ridiculous! Please fix this! This is why I stopped playing the first time! Just redownloaded and still same problem!?

Update crash 1/5

By Mom20110574

Pokestops are not working for me

Freezing issue 2/5

By Andie Abyss

Every time i seem to interact with a gym lately the game freezes for me. This is ridiculous now and I’m ready to stop playing again. Fix your servers!

Raid 3/5

By munchiez420707

You guys screwed me over on a rayquaza raid and took my raid pass so I can’t even do it! So please fix it cause I’m a active player and I want to keep playing but you have to fix all the glitches and errors!!!

It’s ok but you have to make account to play 2/5

By Rebecca Rubin

You have to make an Account to play That what that’s it besides that it is great!
What’s good

This game is such BS!!! 1/5

By っッっ

Seen 6 only caught 1 rayquaza after getting great throws with golden berries. And still no ex raid pass. You want mewtwo they only want your 💰 stop stop spending 💰 in this awful buggy game. That'll make them listen to the players they have left

Pokemon go good! 5/5

By Cc minecraft guy

First of sorry for the bad framer in the title but anyhow I really like this game and it’s function can’t wait to catch raquaza or get it from a raid battle but I think it would be really cool if you guys the developers realeased a game like ultra sun or ultra moon for IOS and Android would be really cool

Not about walking anymore 1/5

By Blueboshi

Niantic is obviously making lots of money on raids, so that’s almost the entire focus of the game now. People drive around from place to place all day to get a chance to catch dozens of identical copies of legendary creatures that are supposed to be rare and unique. The gyms and tracking of wild Pokémon continue to receive no bug fixes or attention. I’m close to level 36 but I have no incentive to try to get there anymore.

Bug fixes? 2/5

By TRImmoos

But you didn’t address the bug that is locking up the iPhone 6 when you try to enter a gym. Might be just taller gyms. The display freezes but the game still functions behind the frozen screen.

How about this...? 2/5

By truth_sadly

Ooh ooh 🙋🏼‍♂️ you know what this game SHOULD have?? The ability for people to trade Pokémon. So the people who get screwed at Gym Raids can actually get the Pokémon they want from their friends who have it and are willing to trade. One of the biggest things that made Pokémon fun was the ability to trade...food for thought..

Freeze 2/5

By Poolbouy

I love the game but hate, hate when it freezes. Tired and frustrated of freeze even after the latest update.

Gyms 1/5

By steverbeaver

Have Pokémon in gyms for days at a time only for them to be kicked out with no coins. Will have one in for 1/2 a day and have it kicked out with a odd amount of coins(not complaining about that, but there’s something wrong if I there’s no coins back for days)

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 1/5

By philgongo

This game stinks because of one thing I don’t like putting all of the info that can lead to identity theft. if you could just let us play without any of the Pokémon trainer club or google it would get 5 stars but for now I give it a -5 star rating😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 why color do this.

Network errors 1/5

By cdeacon821

Today’s update is causing constant network errors! Kicking me out of gyms while raiding and me losing out on a bunch of Pokémon 🤦‍♀️

Fav 5/5

By Rainwatersoul

One of my favorite apps. Keep the events coming so we can go out and keep catching newer ones! So fun.

Gym system needs update 4/5

By Neloangello27

I love raid battles and gym conquering but something is wrong when I have to be hoping someone takes down my gym to claim the 50 gold coins and for every day that my pokemon remains superior... I’m basically getting penalized by losing the 50 coins I could have gotten that day. The coins should be claimed if the limit of 50 has been reached that day. That is the only big flaw I see so far.

I FOUND A BUG 2/5

By Shadow Daddy

APP CRASHES EVERY TIME I GIVE CANDY TO POKEMON THAT ARE DEFENDING A GYM. THIS IS ANNOYING, BECAUSE I CANT HEAL ANY OF MY POKEMON WHO ATE DEFENDING. PLEASE FIX 👍

Legit 5/5

By Bawsee

You guys are seriously great at fixing any random bugs and in a timely manner too.
great app, the engineers should be proud. well done

The items should mean more 3/5

By IAmLoscar

The items should mean more, especially those you pay for. Why are regular poke balls a premium buy item? I should be paying for ultra balls. The incense, terrible. I’m currently bed ridden with the flu and was hoping the incense would bring some Pokémon my way. At most during the 30 minute effect I’ve had 3 appear. What a waste! Also, the raid passes shouldn’t count towards low level raids. Just let us have those. Not everyone can take on a legendary and not everyone wants to do one free raid a day. Other than this...game is awesome, absolutely love it. Just hate how greedy these micro transactions can be.

Thanks 5/5

By 😀🙃pokemon

Thanks for making this game

Apple Watch player 3/5

By Saramack91939

I play air pets my Apple Watch as I can’t always have my phone out and about. I can sneak hatch Pokémon at work while I do my job. It makes me happy to find out what I got. This latest update took the app off of my watch (series 2). I don’t know if it was an accident or not but having the game on my watch was one of the best things about the game for me. That sneaky aspect that didn’t decimate my phone battery. Please fix this guys.

Please change 3/5

By rad4991

Living in the rural area is very tough playing this game, we have to drive to the nearest town to go to poke stops an gyms. Please make Pokémon pop up more while in a vehicle because that crippled our game play tremendously . Plus the variety of Pokémon that spawn when you can’t go nowhere is very limited. Please think about rural players

Cant even sign up to play 1/5

By Hs landmass

I tried making an account for an hour and it wouldn't work, then i got the account and activated it and I have the correct password and username and it does not sign me in. Im hella mad honestly

Catching is impossible on the iPhone X 1/5

By Void1995

Maybe it’s due to the different design, but it’s far, far more difficult to throw balls on the iPhone X and you actually cannot reach Kyogre and Groudon on it. Please fix this! The game is far less enjoyable as pokeballs don’t work as well and it’s awful
Also, every time I go to a gym and feed berries to the pokemon there, game freezes

Quality is going down 1/5

By SandyWe

The last few releases have been horrible. Game freezes after feeding berries to creatures in gyms. Game freezes after interacting with gyms. Etc. stop giving Niantic money until they fix the basics!

Over it 1/5

By SherylCamp

It was fun for a time. In fact it was fun until yesterday when it insisted I log out and then the hassle began. I logged out and it wouldn’t allow me back in. The only way to go back to my account was created a new account...which meant nothing saves, nothing I had collected. I had literally collected things from the entire country because i spent a year traveling in an RV. Yeah now it’s useless and not fun starting over. No time to start fresh. Someone created an update that broke it for me.

The catch rate on raids is ridiculous 1/5

By Zeph19

You only get ONE RAID PASS A DAY, and when I throw a curveball that hits a JUMPING LAPRAS AND I GET AN EXCELLENT THROW MEANWHILE THE LAPRAS HAS A SUPER BERRY AND IT BREAKS OUT AT ON WIGGLE IS COMPLETE BULL. Also, fix the money making mechanic cause gyms go down ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO FIND A DESOLATE GYM TO GET A FEW COINS BEFORE SOME ONE USING THE HACK DESTROYS IT AND PUTS IN A DRAGONITE. Also you should have premier balls lay over if you don’t use them all.
